Glad to see the head of the Space Force has a good sense of humor. It is a necessity in the Air Force, where they build the golf course, barracks and clubs first. And then have to go back to Congress for money for hangars and runways.
When they make the movie, this might make a good plot

One thing was missing from the plot. Capt. James T. Kirk sleeps with the female companion of the leading Fithp, she becomes pregnant, has a child that is a cross between William Shatner and Babar the Elephant. The child matures quickly and brings peace, without battle, to the people of Earth and the Fithp, who live peacefully among their new neighbors.
A sequel would come next called Footfall: The Next Generation. Where hephalumps and woozles attempt to take over Earth, but are thwarted by the combined efforts of humans and Fithp’s.
That was fun!

What appealed to me was that the heroes were the science fiction writers I grew up with.

Those should not appear in the same thread as Niven and Pournelle.

Agreed, and Lord of Light is vastly more classy.
The set-up for the pun was classic and my first hearing of it…
